The Air Jordan 12 "Cherry" is an iconic shoe.

One of the more underrated Jumpman shoes to ever be created is the Air Jordan 12. Overall, this is a sneaker that was a staple of the late 90s. Moreover, it is the silhouette that Michael Jordan won his fifth title in. More importantly, it is the shoe that commemorated the infamous "Flu Game." That said, it should come as no surprise that Jordan Brand still gives this shoe attention. In fact, the sneaker has had a nice resurgence as of late, which has given Jumpman all the more reason to support it.

Throughout 2023, sneakerheads and casual consumers can expect the Air Jordan 12 to drop in a plethora of colorways. Over these past few weeks, we have seen plenty of teasers for what Jumpman has in store. Overall, these colorways have been extremely intriguing. Furthermore, there have been rumblings of a very special retro that fans will adore. After all, nothing helps build up positive nostalgia more than some retro colorways. The retro in question is the Air Jordan 12 "Cherry."
